Good evening, class.
Some of you may remember when feminists literally drove the words 'sissy' and 'tomboy' out of the language. 'Sissy' was common slang for a feminine male considered a misogynistic insult. 'Tomboy' was slang for a masculine female which was considered insulting to women because "Women can do anything a man can do, and do it better." This was a great leap forward for womankind.
Today, we have different terms for the same things (as well as many other things) that we force people to use, right down to the level of pronouns, which we call 'genders', and we will label people 'transphobic' if they don't.
'Queer' was a horribly offensive slur that referred to 'homosexuals', which is now also considered offensive. We must now say 'gay' when referring to same sex attracted people, even if a male who is attracted to a female 'identifies' as a female. If a male who 'identifies' as female is attracted to males, then he is heterosexual or straight. 'Heterosexual', weirdly, is not considered offensive.
Gay females are also known as lesbians (which really should be capitalized since it refers to inhabitants of the Greek island Lesbos, portrayed in legend as overrun with gay females, much like Key West). Strangely, gay males have no corresponding moniker for their subcategory, which is reparation for 'male privilege'. Females have no privilege at all, which is the source of 'GIRL POWER✊'.
'Queer' has now been reappropriated by the 'LGBTQIA+ . . . ' 'community', and refers to just about anything but opposite sex attraction between 'cis' males and females, 'cis' meaning those who foolishly continue to identify by the sex that medical professionals guessed they were at birth simply because they had a penis or a vagina.
'Faggot', once the vilest of insults to mostly male gays, has become a sort of 'F word', which is still a vile insult if heterosexual people use it, but can be a term of endearment between faggots.
'Butch' is a sort of 'insult fluid' word which can be either a term of endearment or an insult pretty much at random.
This is the end of today's lesson. There will be a pop quiz on Friday. Also don't forget your essay assignment on why "you throw like a girl" is a misogynistic insult which does not, in any way, contradict the premise that biological males shouldn't participate in female sports because males can throw way better than females--even males who have to play in female sports because they can't make the cut in male sports.
Remember, we live on stolen land (except for our prokaryote classmates) and we must always feel guilt and shame for the fact that we ain't nevah gonna give it back.
